Apologies in advance that the post-race topic will come before the race ends. I should have known with Spa to add a couple of hours in the schedule -__-

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

in the word of Hamilton: unacceptable

/s

Critical info in case you missed it.

The Beekeeper? The Jason Statham one that I still haven't heard a single thing about? Weird choice for the F1 marketing department to assign that πŸ˜‚

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Well I miss the snapshot of Leclerc favorite pre race meal being pasta with oil and Parmesan… totally ground breaking too. Thanks god the rain stopped

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Let’s go. Rain time 🌧️

Memory lane for Hamilton & Rosberg.

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

what a race by Hamilton in 15 laps he is #7. well done.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Everything's aligned for him so far. Good payoff for the wet setup, perfect timing on reading the crossover and good driving from him too of course.

Calm and solid race by Piastri. Few fumbles by Norris including the start, but good perf by Mcclaren. Good race for the juniors (no DNF). Good perf by Ferrari with podium for Leclerc and come back from Hamilton to 7th from 18th.

Drivers are allowed to exceed 10 car lengths distance to the next car behind the safety car as long as they stay below 20 car lengths.

[–] jwt@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago

"30 car lengths shalt thou not be apart, neither be thou apart 5, excepting that thou then proceed to be apart 10. 50 car lengths is right out."

Well... let's see whether that intensity is raceable. If not, they won't start they race for a while, since there is more of this rain coming after that from W-NW.

Edit: This is exciting. No sign of delaying the start. Rain will wind down a bit after the start, before picking up again. And maybe even with a short heavy downpour too. The drivers really have to prove themselves.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

β€ͺ@thomasmaheronf1.bsky.social‬

FIA anticipate the rain to stop at 4pm local time.

Targeting a start "as soon as the standing water has been cleared from the track". #F1 #BelgianGP

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 month ago

Rain in Spa. My body is ready.

We might get a couple laps towards the end of the 3 hour race window, but it's never going to be a full race today. Sad times.

Edit: crofty and brundle just said in commentary that the 3 hours hasn't actually started because the race never started. I'm more optimistic with this information.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hamilton flying with that wet setup, has to be wishing they green flagged earlier.

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

yeah I love when he got that type of mojo.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Race resuming in 13 minutes!

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

and Piastri take the lead

They should have just had the standing start and kept on driving.

[–] fisco@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Could have got the race going already ....fucking melts !

[–] 353247532631@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This is the best conditions will be for the foreseeable future. Stupid to not get underway

[–] fisco@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yes, even the commentators suggested on the formation lap, that this was the best time to get going...πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Rain and F1 :(

[–] mhague@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Accuweather radar shows the clouds breaking up soon

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Good to see Antonelli making some moves, the kid could use a confidence boost.

He's being out classed by Oscar this year.

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

yeah total fumble

[–] Microw@piefed.zip 3 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Is that only my broadcast, or did the F1 intro just have a different music/score than usual?

[–] mhague@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

On sky they had a different intro. It didn't sound like a cover of the theme either.

Was hoping for rain for an interesting race but it looks like the monkey's paw clenched too hard.

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Let's go #2

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago
[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

what a race by Aston Martin after 4 laps

[–] mhague@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Let's goooo

[–] Microw@piefed.zip 3 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Red Bull yesterday really was like "we'll optimize the car for a rain race although we know that rain races never fully get underway in Spa nowadays"

Curious if the medium will actually last 14 more laps or not.
